the screen -- but that’s just the beginning. Stick Pick suggests question

starters for learners at different levels and also records how well students

respond during classroom discussions. If a student is consistently scoring

near the top or bottom, simply change the level so students aren't bored

or frustrated. Depending on students' levels of English proficiency, they

might be asked simple yes-or-no questions or to elaborate in longer

sentences.
